Description
One night, my mother called me. She told me that the man she lives with is drunk and insulting her. A few years ago, she left my father to escape domestic imprisonment, and now she was trapped again. This had been going on for a long time; she had kept it from me. I advised her to leave immediately. But where to go, without money, without qualifications, without a driver's license? What options are available to a woman who has spent her whole life raising children and suffering from male brutality?
Édouard Louis, in his new work, continues the story of his mother, which he began telling in the book essay "Fights and Transformations of One Woman." In this text, straddling the line between essay and prose, he reconsiders and develops reflections on male aggression, violence against women, and once again gives voice to those who would otherwise remain unheard.
